Keep holding on to yourself. And I'd suggest, now you've let her know about those triggers, try to stop yourself from repeating that (repetition= nagging). I found, in Piecing, that my H was so fragile still that I had to wait until he was a lot stronger (and rational rather than emotional) before I could look to him for much understanding of my pain. I know it feels unfair, but, as the LBS, you are the stronger one at this point.
Keep doing as much for yourself that takes your mind off your W as you can at this point.
